The N. Macomb St. and E. Noble Ave. intersec­tion will become a four-way stop permanently.

The Monroe City Council approved the change Monday night as part of the slate of items on the consent agenda.

Until mid-December, the intersection was con­trolled by a traffic signal. It was changed to a four­way stop and the signal started flashing red all four ways after the Macomb St. Bridge reopened.

Since that time, a trial period of an all-way stop was implemented to determine whether any ma­jor traffic problems occurred.

The change is meant to improve traffic flow, city officials have said.

Patrick Lewis, the city’s director of engineering and public service, said the traffic signals likely will come down in a month or so, but the signals will not be removed immediately.

“It’s not a high priority,” he said.

In other matters, council approved the hanger apron rehabilitation at Custer Airport.

The date of the project has not been scheduled but probably will take place later this summer.

The work for the apron, which connects to the runway, will include a mix of full depth concrete panel repair and replacement, partial depth panel repair and replacement and joint and crack seal­ing designed.

The council awarded the project to Florence Ce­ment Co. of Shelby Township for $219,795.

The project will also be funded through the Michigan Department of Transportation, which is contributing about $13,000.

The primary portion of the project — 90 per­cent— will come from federal funds, which will pay for $ 235,106 of the project. The city will pay $13,062 toward the work.

A contract was awarded to Reynolds, Smith and Hills Inc. for construction engineering services for $24,000 on the airport project.
